Correct. Right now its an issue of test availability

Simply not true. I got tested very easily with very mild symptoms here in Utah.

Same with us; that system told us to just stay home and our doctor told us no

I just drove right up to the testing facility almost 2 weeks ago and they asked if I wanted to get tested and I said yes

I think the testutah.com is actually preventing people from getting tested that should. I didn't do any of that stuff.

There is no evidence of less harmful “strains”. Virus is mutating to a degree

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 6:45am

Weak infection = weak symptoms. Simple.

charles

4/10/20 6:57am

Viral load vs bodies defences. Simple

charles

4/10/20 6:59am

Structure of virus is not the variable changing.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 8:03am

Not the structure. Social distancing changes viral load/# of virons

charles

4/10/20 9:46am

Huh? Social distancing affects you not getting the virus, not your viral load.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 10:25am

Viral load depends on how many you start with plus how many are replicated

charles

4/10/20 11:20am

I wouldn’t think initial viral load would have mattered due to exponential

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 11:31am

Yes. Get the virus from a weakened one on a surface will have a different result

That just does not make sense to me. The viral genome remains the same whether

He's assuming one gets 10,000,000 virons from the girlfriend mouth to mouth

charles

4/10/20 1:20pm

It doesn’t matter. There are only up to 10 base pair mutations from the MOST

No one suggesting weakened strands.

Interesting and plausible. Thank you.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 11:40pm

It is dying on the surface the longer it is on the surface and

Cougarbib

4/10/20 1:39pm

There is absolutely NO evidence to suggest there are weakens stands. Sorry.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 1:18pm

No one is suggesting weakened strains. It's simply viron quantity.

charles

4/10/20 1:23pm

I must have mis read cougarbib.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 1:27pm

Google how long will Coronavirus live on a hard surface and read up.

Cougarbib

4/10/20 1:40pm

I am not doubting it can die on a surface. This notion that the virus is "less"

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 7:53pm

All of the sequencing that has been done is showing little no mutation.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 7:56pm

I said nothing about mutations. Viruses die a slow death on surfaces weakening

Cougarbib

4/10/20 11:47pm

From what I understand you said: The virus off the surface is weaker.

Robert Baratheon

4/11/20 8:49am

From a surface a few hours old with some viruses still viable but most unviable

Cougarbib

4/11/20 11:15am

Yes it will. The question is whether the infectious dose has any impact.

Robert Baratheon

4/11/20 2:53pm

In short. People get more sick is their own bodies ability, not the virus.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 10:40am

Yes its the same virus but the number of initial virons varies greatly.
